James 3:17 "But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and 
sincere."

"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear." (II Timothy 4:3)

"Always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth." (II Timothy 3:7)

This is how Paul describes those who will turn away from God. They will surround themselves with lies "to suit their own desires." They will use darkness to hide the truth about their sin because they "...love darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil." (John 3:19).

But here we see the products of a heavenly wisdom. This wisdom comes, not from feeding our fleshly desires but from surrendering them, believing the truth, holding our hearts to the revealing light which casts out self. Then, instead of jealousy, selfish ambition, disorder, and every other evil practice that rules a heart seeking worldy wisdom, there is peace loving, submission, mercy, good fruit, impartiality, and sincerity.

These attributes are absolutely not a product of selfish desires. They are from a humble heart who has believed the truth of God's Word and held his life to the revealing light.

This wisdom is, before anything else, pure. It is without worldy blemish and selfish motive. It is the result of God's truth cleansing a heart.

The results of this wisdom are beautiful. They are freeing. No more living in a place of darkness, for fear of what the light reveals. No more confusion of warring desires. No more of self which must constantly be feed, comforted, filled, built up, hidden, defended.

Freedom from self is freedom to live for God. Free to fulfill our ultimate purpose of bowing humbly before the Lord in worship.

And this freedom will be evident in "deeds done in humility": peace-loving, consideration, submission, fullness of mercy and good fruit, impartiality, and sincerity. The wisdom that is truly from God is based on truth. Acceptance of God's truth casts out the self and the lies of the world's wisdom. And there is freedom to live for God.

Jesus said (John 8:31), "...If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
